Passionately Casual Podcast Ep. 33: LIVE

A SWTOR Podcast for Unholy Alliance and Wookiee Mistake guilds on the Harbinger server. Our podcast is a proud member of MOG Nation!

This week we record live for the first time on Sechari’s channel twitch.tv/sechari. We think it worked out pretty well, although there were certainly challenges! As a result, you may find some subtle differences in the quality and sound of this episode. We also feature the second of Larry Everett’s In Character three-part series on the no-no’s of role play, this one on “powergaming” (which JT and Sechari had a lot of fun with). We also have an extensive discussion about toxicity and trolling in the SWTOR community in response to some recent comments on the part of JoeNeverFails.

Guild News

The biggest story of the week is Unholy Alliance’s fourth annual Extra Life push! We’ve been able to raise over $9000 dollars over the last three years for the Children’s Miracle Network of Hospitals, and we plan to keep pushing the number higher this year! Join us at 1:00 PM EDT this Saturday, June 24th on the Harbinger Server for our 2017 Kickoff Event and/or make a donation to our 2017 team by clicking here. Don’t forget to grab a tee-shirt here (the profits go right to our Extra Life team). Events for the kickoff event include this year’s Eric Musco event “Musco Madness”, a Musco dance party, Quiplash with Kid Lee and numerous other shenanigans.

Also be sure to mark your calendar (June 24th) for the main 12-hour-marathon event. Check out Unholy Alliance’s Extra Life page for more details.

Also be sure to check the guild calendar for our usual set of events: WIP, WOG, etc.

Tier 4 armor is now craftable.

Theron Shan and Shae Vizla’s appearances can now be customized.

120% and 130% mount speeds are now available as character perks.

Tier 1 gear can now be purchased for command tokens from a vendor on fleet.

Coming soon: 5.3: Sisters of Carnage in July (which will include a new stronghold), and 5.4: Crisis on Umbara in August.
